EnchantsThree gear slots can be enchanted with Legion gameplay enchants: necks, cloaks, and rings. There are also shoulder and glove enchants which can assist with professions, but weapons in Legion do not have special enchants.

If you truly are limited on gold, the cheap enchants and gems are okay, but any serious progression, you should use the better gems and enchants.

Without a Garrison-like system in Legion, players must acquire their enchants from Enchanters. For crafters, recipes in Legion require different quest chains, and once completed, enchants can be made at low levels. Learn more about Enchanting in our Legion Enchanting Guide.

Gem sockets have a small chance to be found on all gear in Legion, including raid bosses, world bosses, world quest loot, and dungeon loot. Rings and necks crafted by Jewelcrafters have a 100% chance to have a socket.

Food can be crafted by any player with the Cooking profession that has learned the Legion recipe from either questing or Nomi's Discovery Table in Legion. Learn more about acquiring recipes in the Legion Cooking Guide.

Best Profession for your spec?

No single profession has a combat advantage over any other, but I prefer Ingenieurskunst just for the utility items as one of my two specs.
